In the last several weeks, James has gotten over a lot of his fussiness and is smiling many times a day. If he's in a good mood, he can spend nearly 15 minutes alone on his play mat batting at his toy zebra and listening to music. At the table, he can sit for 5 or more minutes in his Bumbo seat and at least keep his head from falling too far backward or forward... and he'll enjoy it longer when he gains more body fat to help keep him upright. Speaking of chubbiness, he's really starting to fill out in all directions; you can really see it in his cheeks but his legs are the real hoot - they've gone from twigs to jelly rolls!
James prefers mostly to be held and still doesn't like tummy time for very long, but he certainly makes an effort to pay attention to what's going on in his field of view. He gets to watch Claire playing a lot and might be either grateful or annoyed if he could understand some of the things she does to keep him entertained. James also is taking a bottle each day; he still doesn't like it and complains every time, but more often than not his desire to eat overpowers his dislike of the bottle.
James likes to bounce at the dinner table
His favorite face is Mommy, of course
James is getting used to the camera; more smiles like this means many more pictures

It's so nice to see James' sweet smile! I'm glad to hear he's calming down some.
